What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

There’s a lot of plastic I wish I could replace.

 

I made the swap from plastic to metal a year or so ago. For me it's just peace of mind knowing it's one less plastic part on the truck to crack over time.

 

I washed the truck for the first time at one of those self-serve car wash's where you use an app on your phone to decide how much time you need.
Nice, because I forgot my roll of quarters.

Determined I could not reach the entirety of the cab roof, even though I was standing on one of those plastic step stools.

Found out the stool is a handy place to sit.
In the bay with a MGM truck, it's a challenge to make sure you don't miss a spot or two.
Determined after getting home, I missed a spot or two, or three, or...

 

Looks great! I can still see chrome though. You need to swap out those tail lights for these: ( I also added this:

Started building a custom rack for my camper Shell. Still got some work to do but it’s coming along.

 

Amazon??

 

TW members are so friendly offering to help spend your $$$.

 

Installed Caliraised Ditch Lights yesterday. It’s the kit that includes mounting brackets and wiring to a custom push button in the cab panel. Relatively easy install and super bright lights.

 

Re-positioned the air intake location.
Toyota poor design to place it in the right wheel well… sorry we don’t snorkel in Baja!

 

It's a wrap! Thank you!

 

Strengthening the frame

 

Removed spare… to make room for lockable storage box…

 

Looking good! You might consider tie rod sleeves and frame caps too

Skid plates

we are Rhino lining the front skid plate. We cut holes in the front skid plate to allow more air for the radiator

 

Nice box! They did something like that in this thread.

I have the same plates. Is that a stock gas tank? Don't look like it...

 

I didn’t look to see if they covered the frame openings with a piece they welded on. But those caps look cool. I sent website to MCM.

Looks like their tie rod sleeves are sold out
